> I firmly believe that Russia's been the US's closet ally all along (2) I suppose people can believe what they like. english.pravda.ru >>Russian media considers Cheney's speech to be first step towards new Cold War The Kremlin's official response toCheney's speech at a conference in Lithuania has been cautious. But angry reaction from Kremlin-allied politicians and pundits reflects a deepening chill that has marked ties in the second terms of two presidents who seemed to hit it off early in their relationship. "The speech effectively eliminates the vestiges of strategic partnership between Russia and the United States. And if U.S. President George W. Bush confirms the stance, the idea can be buried," said pro-Kremlin political analyst Gleb Pavlovsky, the Interfax news agency reported. The prominent business daily Kommersant said Cheney's comments marked "the beginning of a second Cold War" and harkened back to Churchill's famous speech in Fulton, Missouri, in which he condemned Soviet expansionism in Eastern Europe with the "Iron Curtain" label that defined the East-West divide for decades. Asked to comment on the comparison, Russian Foreign MinisterSergey Lavrov refrained from criticizing Cheney but condemned the meeting in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, which brought together the pro-Western leaders of ex-Soviet republics on the Baltic and Black Seas. "Over the past years, many forums have been created that reflect the desire of the respective states ... to pool their efforts to achieve common benefits," Lavrov said. "But there are forums that create an impression ... that they are convened ... for the sake of uniting against someone."<<
